Summer, Sun, the Beach, and.....Cellulite?


When the time comes when you will put on your swim suit,  and start enjoying the summer, don't let cellulite stop you.   Instead let’s see some ways that will help us minimize it.

A short explanation of cellulite 


First let me just say that unfortunately cellulite runs in the family, in other words it’s genetic.  That is, if your mom has cellulite, there is a very good probability that you also have it.   The bumpy skin is caused when fat presses up against the vertical connective tissue that surrounds fat cells in our thighs. This creates a bulging of the cells.  In more severe cases we have the “orange peel” effect.
So much for what cellulite is.   Now let’s see some ways and products that will help us minimize it.

Drink Plenty of Water


Water is our biggest ally in fighting cellulite.  Try and drink about 8 glasses every day, which will help to remove toxins, and increase blood circulation.  In addition, by increasing our water intake, our body begins to shed excess fat including fat that is stored as cellulite.  Finally, water helps to strengthen collagen in the skin.
